Bellevue Base wins transit safety award
 Congratulations to King County Metro’s Bellevue Base employees for posting the best rate of collision reductions for 2005.
The annual transit safety award evaluates any collision - no matter how minor - between buses and fixed objects and other vehicles. Bellevue Base reduced its accident frequency by 6.9 percent over the previous year, and North Base followed a with a 4.3 percent reduction. Bellevue Base has won the Base Safety Contest three times previously.
"Everyone at Bellevue Base worked together to earn this award," said Bellevue Base Supervisor Dave Jolly. "It was a team effort between our drivers, our supervisors and trainers, our vehicle maintenance staff, and our base safety team. We developed new orientation training for drivers new to Bellevue Base, and paid attention to the details to provide many different kinds of training opportunities."
